Region of Halton, Staff appreciation awards September 22, 2011
Hi Una,
I just wanted to say a BIG thank you from the Region of Halton on doing such a fantastic job with the pictures on September 22, 2011.
Carmine was a pleasure to work with and he was absolutely wonderful in organizing the pictures & displaying them on the screen.
As he used to work for the Region, people did know him and were very comfortable with asking him to take pictures of their groups!
Some people have asked for your contact info, which I have passed along.
Thanks again,

From the beginning to the end of the day, every single moment was caught on camera. We were very impressed with the professional attitude from Mario but also the very interactive and friendly service we received. It made taking hours of pictures more enjoyable for us and our party. We have recommended and have been asked by many that have met Mario about his services as they also enjoyed his upbeat attitude. I was surprised how quickly our engagement and wedding photos are done especially since friends of ours have waiting for 3 months for their pictures.
Thanks so much for making our day even better!

Mario,
I must say it was an absolute pleasure working with you on the bridal photo shoot. You made my job easier by making me feel completely comfortable and also made the whole experience a lot of fun. I can’t forget when we were shooting with the two dogs and you barked to get their attention! Not only do you work great with people but with animals too! I also loved that you were open to all our ideas for the photo shoot, a true pro. The pictures turned out gorgeous and I definitely cannot take all the credit. You truly did capture the memories ;) I look forward to working with you again and highly recommend Captured Memories Photography to anyone looking for exceptional photography services.
Thank you so much,
Stephanie Domet

Dear Una and Mario,
It is with great pride that we write this testimonial to you both reflecting your involvement in our beautiful wedding day. Captured Memories came highly recommended from my sister who had used your company at her wedding. When we first met with you both, it was clear that you had lived up to the reputation that preceded you, as your gallery of demo photos were outstanding. You were more than accommodating leading up to the event with our Friday evening wedding schedule, which you helped time with us down to the last second. Una, you kept in great touch with us about our ideas for photos that we liked, details of the event, and reminders that would help us on the big day. On the wedding day, your work Mario could not have been improved in any way. You arrived on time, were highly energetic, very respectful to everyone who you interacted with, and made us feel like royalty. Beyond all of these qualities Mario, you were simply exceptional with kids- my flower girl absolutely fell in love with you! Your 'Barney the Dinosaur' voices were highly captivating and kept our bubbly little Paris smiling bigger than I could ever imagine. The perfect sunny weather with not a cloud in sight is completely a brides dream on her wedding day; however not for a photographer due to access light and squinting bridesmaids/groomsmen. Yet, despite these difficult working conditions every photo turned out exceptionally well captivating every enchanted detail. Selecting our favourite photographs when we quickly received our prints back was a difficult task as each one was so unique in its own way. Friends of ours who had seen our photos all wanted to know who we worked with so that they could use the excellent talents- it was then with great pride that we followed in my sisters footsteps and recommended Captured Memories to those who could benefit from photography services.
Best wishes and thank you for making our day a fairy tale come true!

Dear Una, Mario and Rob!
Cam and myself wanted to write a note to let you know how thrilled we are with Captured Memories and Rio Productions! Fantastic work-to say the least!
From our first meeting, we knew that the three of you were kind, warm and caring people who felt truly passionate about their craft. We felt at "home" during our visits with Una and Mario. We also felt as though we could trust the three of you with doing a terrific job on our very important day.
Our engagement shoot was so much fun! Mario and Rob made us feel so comfortable with pretending to be super-models on the lake! It was exciting because Mario and Rob helped to make it so.
Our wedding was a complete dream and Mario and Rob were so professional, up-beat and completely refreshing to work with. Our wedding party and guests made many comments about how lucky Cam and myself were because we had such a great team in Mario and Rob.
The photos are amazing! Thank you for such a short turn around time! Putting an album together isn't easy because there are so many unique, special and beautiful pictures to choose from.
Without a doubt, Cam and myself will work with Captured Memories and Rio Productions again in our future together and we have already recommended both companies to friends and family who are in the middle of planning weddings and showers.
Again, thank you for your caring attitude, energetic spirit and refreshing heart!
Sincerely,
Cam and Danielle Coulson
Michelina and Chris Corkin, July 24,2010
We've just been looking through our wedding photo's on your website - they look fantastic! Although the rain made for a real challenging day it didn't spoil things at all, thanks to Mario! He was able to squeeze some beautiful outdoor shots at the park before the down pour and plenty of creative indoor shots at the hotel. Our whole bridal party thought you were amazing as well and we all had a blast getting our pictures taken. Thanks so much for everything on the day, it all went really well and we had a really memorable day.

Annamaria & Curtis Dool – September 11, 2009
Let me first start off by saying: OUTSTANDING!!! We were completely impressed by the amazing experience that Carmine brought to all our photographs on our beautiful wedding day this past September. He was absolutely incredible!! Many unique and creative shots that I wanted above and beyond the traditional poses. Carmine was outstanding, professional and so amazing to work with. He was extremely kind and caring to my friends and family when composing our group pictures. I had just about every one of my guests compliment him on how wonderful a person he is, as well as his amazing photography skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for photography services, as well as the entire team at Captured Memories Photography. We had amazing communication throughout the entire planning process. Fast responses, great tips from their experience and fantastic prices for the amazing quality. I will definitely pass along Captured Memories Photography to anyone I hear looking for their services in the future. Thank-you! THANK-YOU! For capturing our memories so beautifully; We will cherish these memories for a lifetime!
Sincerely,
Annamaria & Curtis

Mario & Una,
My husband and myself would like to thank you once again for such a wonderful job, -no fantastic job- you did for our daughters wedding. You went above and beyond on July 25, 2009. Despite the weather the pictures in and around the RBG were amazing. We had a hard time choosing out of the 1100 pictures you took. They were absolutely gorgeous. Any of our friends who need a photographer I will recommend your services. We will certainly be calling you again in the future.
Again Thank You Mario!

Mr. & Mrs. Waltho - July 18, 2009
Mario & Una,
Andrew and I just wanted to say thank you for the exceptional job you did on our wedding. Mario went above and beyond for our wedding July 18th,2009. He did an excellent job capturing all the shots we needed and even went so far as to do a “barney” voice to get the kids paying attention to the picture. Our engagement photo session was so much fun, we were not sure where to do our photos and Mario and Una suggested Paleta Mansion in Burlington which was so beautiful. Our engagement pictures turned out wonderful and the framing of our enlarged picture was beautifully done. Our wedding pictures are absolutely gorgeous, the quality of the pictures and the shots that were captured were amazing. You were both a pleasure to deal with and always provided excellent customer service.
Andrew and I will be customers of yours for a lifetime, any photos we need we know where to go.
Thank you again for everything, we loved your work.
Lisa & Andrew Waltho
Janine and Roger, August 15th, 2009
Roger and I would like to thank you and Anna for everything! You both went above and beyond the call of duty and made everyone comfortable while doing the photo shoot. You didn't miss a beat. You made the entire event feel natural and you made us feel like your friend. On top of great service we have perfect photos! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! They are exactly what we wanted and could have ever imagined for wedding photos (August 15th, 2009). You captured they way we felt on our wedding day. Not only were the photos perfect, but all of the editing and special effects that you added were above and beyond what we expected. You have customers for life! We can't wait to book out next life event with you (hopefully sooner rather than later)! Take care and I hope all is well for you!
Thank you so much,
Janine and Roger
Mr. & Mrs. Cordeiro - June 13.2009
Dear Mario:
My husband and I would like to take this opportunity in thanking Mario and Mache for the best gift anyone could ask for, the gift of precious memories captured forever. Our wedding day, June 13, 2009 was captured with such brilliance and professionalism that words cannot describe the grattitude and graciousness we felt when looking at our photos. Having both photographers there enabled us to capture the posed shots as well as those candid moments that are taken when you think no one is watching. We had over 1500 shots to peruse and I printed 1000. Needless to say that CMP was the highlight of our wedding and without them we would not be able to relive those moments again and again. Thank you CMP for making my wedding wishes come true and for providing such excellence in your service, quality & dedication to each and every one of your clients. I will not only recommend your services whenever I have the chance but will definitely use them again myself in the future. Thank you kindly.
Thanks Mario!
From the very start your company was great by answering all of our questions and working with us on such short notice. Your price package was very reasonable and your photographic work is amazing, your website does not do your company justice in what you capture - your photo books are pieces that must be viewed for any one searching for a photographer. On our wedding day Mario was great, funny, he caught our personalities, worked with the locations, our guests we had, and did not miss a moment! Having the second photographer there was also amazing, she captured different angles, and hidden moments.
We can not believe how many photographs were taken and that over 200 of them are perfect print quality shots! The images are stunning, you captured our romantic nature, used the historic location to the fullest, and the richness of the reds from the Valentine theme in the photographs looks breathtaking. Mario even exceeded our expectations and stayed to photograph our bellydancer later in the reception.
Even after the wedding, Mario has been such a pleasure to deal with for our DVDs and prints. We can't thank you enough for photographing our special day, and you were worth every penny!
Planning a wedding can be a stressful and eventful time in one’s life. Your wedding pictures are the lasting impressions you will cherish for the rest of your lives together as one. Captured Memories did just that. Their phenomenal team was dedicated to our wedding and provided a fun experience for our entire wedding party of 25 people including 4 young children that were continuously entertained. Not only are our pictures a glimpse of our beautiful day but they represent the hard work and details that come into play when planning a wedding. Captured Memories provided us with an ongoing non stop service that prepared Darryl and I for our big day but also placed a special touch as they stayed with us throughout the entire day and our reception. Captured Memories provided us with wedding contacts which resulted in our incredible videographer.
Mario, Carmine and Una you were truly amazing, from day one from our engagement shoot right up until November 8th our wedding, you were flawless, and your work demonstrated just that; flawless.
Thank you
Hi Una,
Sorry it has taken me a while to write to you but I wanted to mention how wonderful Carmine was on our wedding day.
He helped the day run so smoothly, he was patient and kind to everyone. It was a frazzled time for me as the bride - the entire day was a bit of a blur and Carmine managed to steer us all in the right direction with a smile. He was great. Everyone in my wedding party was impressed, we actually had a good time doing the photos and to be honest I was not looking forward to it, I just wanted to get them done. Carmine made sure everyone was doing what he wanted but in a way that you didn’t even realize he was directing you. He even gave one of my bridesmaids a ride back to the Hall because she was freezing and the limo had not arrived yet. He went above and beyond. I absolutely love all the photos, I could not be happier, and would recommend Captured Memories and Carmine to anyone!!
Thank you for taking such good care of us, and please let Carmine know how happy we were with the photos and with how great he was with everyone,
All the best,
We just wanted to let you know how incredibly happy we are with the photographs you took on our wedding day. The day was stressful to say the least and there are many aspects of the day that we had forgotten or just didn't get to see. Your candid and creative photographs tell a story that we will be able to retell over and over again for the rest of our lives. Your service and quality was outstanding, whether it was in the planning process, on the wedding day and after. Out of the 1000+ photos we received on three disks we absolutely loved every one! As someone who doesn't usually like herself in pictures, I was overwhelmed with the variety and had a hard time narrowing my choices down to one hundred photos for our storybook photo album! I would highly recommend Captured Memories to any couple trying to select someone to trust with the important task of preserving the most important day of your life.
Thanks Mario!
Dear Captured Memories:
We could not be happier about our decision to choose Captured Memories as our photographer for our wedding. We were given Mario’s name by someone we new and we are very happy to pass the referral on. The quality of work was amazing and it is evident that so much time and thought went into all of our pictures. We live in Ottawa and only came to Burlington once in a while and Mario and Una were so accommodating to us and our schedule. Mario was fun to be around and very creative with his pictures. Our wedding party had such a great time with him and my parents commented on how professional he was. Our wedding and engagement pictures are absolutely beautiful and we have had many compliments on them. Mario captured every bit of our wedding perfectly and we will always treasure the pictures we have.
Dear Captured Memories
We would like to thank Captured Memories Photography, especially Mario , for doing a beautiful job with the photography for our recent wedding. He spared no effort in capturing all of the beautiful moments ns creative and attractive ways. He was always cheerful, innovative and really knew what he was doing, evidenced by the resultant images which are especially beautiful and show us, our wedding party and guests, at their best. Thanks to CMP we will always be able to re-capture the special moment and the wonderful feelings of our most important day simply by looking at our pictures!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Mario for the amazing engagement shoot you took of myself and Corey, we absolutely adored each and every shot and we are sooooooo very pleased with the framing and shots we chose to be blown up. It was so hard to choose from all the amazing photos and different shots taken.
As well we have just received our wedding photos back yesterday, Kon was our photographer and we are just as pleased with these shots. There really is not a bad shot in the roll, it is amazing! Corey and I sat down as soon as I got them last night and we looked at them from 6:00 until 8:30 without even realizing that much time went by, they are just breathtaking.
It was such an incredible day and it was so great to relive it again last night, we are so glad that we used your company and would refer you to anyone that asked who we used for our photography.
I just wanted to say one more thing. Thank you so much for making this
process easy and stress-free. With all the other wedding plans on the go,
it has been really nice to not have to worry about photogrpghers. I can't
wait until Saturday, and I know that CMP will do a great job!
Lisa and Bill
Mario, we could never thank you enough for the beautiful photography of our wedding day. You made everyone feel at ease and comfortable . We had many comments from our guests at how professional and about what a great personality you had. I still can't believe the amount of photos we received. You captured some candid moments of the day and your creativity made the pictures that more special to us. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication to making our day so special. We would highly recommend Captured Memories for a wedding or any special occasion that you want remembered forever.
